S3 Suite FIDO2 Certified
Nok Nok’s S3 Suite is FIDO2 Certified as Next-Generation Authentication Platform Now Includes FIDO2 Certification
Nok Nok, the leader in next-generation authentication and a founder of the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance, today announced its award winning Nok NokTM S3 Authentication Suite (Nok Nok™ S3 Suite) has been FIDO2 certified by the FIDO Alliance. The Nok NokTM S3 Authentication Server is the first FIDO universal server certified for all FIDO protocols (UAF, U2F and FIDO2). The FIDO2 certification of the Nok Nok solution will provide enterprises the ability to quickly integrate standards-based, strong authentication solutions into their existing security environments, allowing companies to bring their customers and end users the benefits of easy to use, frictionless authentication regardless of the application, the platform, or authenticator – biometric, token or wearable.
In addition, for developers interested in quickly deploying and maintaining FIDO authentication within their environment, Nok Nok Labs has rolled out the Nok Nok™ S3 Authentication SDK. This new Nok Nok solution enables developers to deploy, maintain and monitor their own server infrastructure. With the introduction of the Nok Nok Labs Developer Program, developers can quickly learn how to implement FIDO and Web Authentication (WebAuthn) standards in existing applications and mobile devices to meet multi-factor authentication requirements that reduce and eliminate reliance on the use of passwords and legacy one-time password (OTP) tokens for authentication.
“Every day there is news of a new phishing or other scalable attack, caused by the use of weak and stolen passwords,” said Phillip Dunkelberger, CEO & President of Nok Nok Labs. “Our breadth of experience as the most broadly deployed FIDO-based platform puts us in a unique position to deliver phishing-resistant, privacy-conscious authentication in a passwordless user experience. We look forward to bringing these solutions and benefits to our customers and partners as we deliver on our vision of fixing the security and ease of use flaws on the internet.”
More than five years ago, Nok Nok Labs pioneered its modern authentication products to bring consumers and service providers authentication solutions that are interoperable with any application and meet industry standards and global regulations. A a founding member of the FIDO Alliance, Nok Nok Labs’ has helped lead the movement in the development, industry acceptance and deployment of the FIDO Alliance UAF, U2F and FIDO2 protocols. Today, Nok Nok Labs has globally deployed products that implement all of the FIDO protocols, with support for tens of millions of end user customers of leading service providers in key industries including banking, e-commerce, mobile network operators and healthcare.
“As a founding member of the FIDO Alliance, Nok Nok Labs has been a valued contributor to the creation of all FIDO specifications including FIDO2. With today’s FIDO2 certification, the Nok Nok Labs Authentication Server is the first Universal Server certified for all FIDO specifications. This achievement illustrates its ability to address a wide variety of use cases and provide a range of authenticator options to service providers looking to combat phishing and other scalable attacks with simpler and stronger FIDO Authentication,” said Brett McDowell, executive director of the FIDO Alliance.
